A bit loud for my taste, but this is the second time in two months that we’ve been there and both times the food and the service have been excellent. The place has a modern vibe and there was a huge crowd there getting ready to watch an NCAA football game. It’s the place to be if you want a big screen.

Fantastic food and ambiance. The service was very attentive. There is a lounge that abuts the dining space that is just lovely for an after dinner drink. The only drawback was that the lounge’s DJ was gone by 9:30.
